Work Life Philosophy

When it comes to your life, it’s not our place to dictate what things you should care about. We believe in providing the resources that will alleviate distractions and allow you to do your best work.

Our culture of Freedom & Responsibility translates to the support we provide our team. Highlighted are philosophies outside of our health and financial benefits.

Time Away

Time away works differently at Netflix. We don’t have a prescribed 9-to-5 workday, so we don’t have prescribed time off policies for salaried employees, either. We don’t set a holiday and vacation schedule, so you can observe what’s important to you—including when your mind and body need a break. We believe in working smarter, not harder.

Parental Leave

We recognize that one of the most special events in an individual’s life is the birth or adoption of a child. Our paid parental leave is flexible and generous, allowing parents to take the time they need to care for and bond with their new child.

Personal Top of Market

Our philosophy is to pay at the top of personal market, so that we better attract and retain the few fantastic performers. To make the best estimate of top of personal market, we ask managers to think about three core questions:
1. What could the person get at other companies?
2. What would we be willing to pay to keep them?
3. What would a replacement person cost?
